When I get a major free agent and pay a huge, multi-year salary to get him, I feel that I should be stuck with him when he gets older, under-performs, is injured, etc.
I try to avoid trading him and force myself to tough it out to his final year. This is closer to reality and makes you have to stick with the long-term deals that landed him in the first place.
I also restrict myself severely from making trades at any point in a season when I'm in first place.
When a trade is obviously lopsided in my favor, I'll throw in another prime player that really hurts and would truly help the other team -- trying to make it more realistic.
I would rather win in a very tight pennant race where I need to play out my final games to clinch and closely manage every move to pull that off.
